For Immediate Release
HALCYON WAY RELEASES NEW ALBUM ON NIGHTMARE RECORDS
Atlanta, Georgia – September 21, 2008
Atlanta's progressive power/thrash band HALCYON WAY have inked a deal with U.S. label Nightmare Records. Their debut CD, "A Manifesto For Domination", will be released worldwide on November 11, 2008.
The album was produced by guitarist Jon Bodan, mixed by Lasse Lammert (Alestorm), and mastered by James Murphy (Testament, Death).
Sounding like a cross between Megadeth, Dio, and Fates Warning, the band is known and recognized for its energetic and theatrical live performances, blazing guitar, intricate drumming, and three-part vocal harmonies. They have appeared live with acts such as Helloween, Symphony X, Kamelot, Brand New Sin, Cellador, Circle II Circle, To/Die/For, Doro Pesch, Strapping Young Lad, and many others. In addition, they appeared live at the ProgPower USA Showcase in 2004 and 2007, alongside bands such as Primal Fear, Threshold, Freak Kitchen, and Virgin Steele. Halcyon Way also performed twice at Rocklahoma in 2008, alongside bands such as Queensrÿche & Tesla, and many others.
"The band was very persistent. Finally they we're far enough along in the recording process and gave me a few of their songs to check out.
I was sold! This band, while being a new force to be recognized, knows how to write solid songs, and how to translate their ideas from gut and head to your ears!," said Lance King (Nightmare Records)
Halcyon Way is endorsed by Brian Moore Custom Guitars, Madison Amplifiers, Halo Guitars, and Sfarzo Strings.
